Issue/Introduction

Executing CAUNZIP for cumulative maintenance. The JOB failed with the following messages:

GIM69208S ** GIMZIP PROCESSING HAS FAILED BECAUSE THE LEVEL OF PROGRAM GIMJVCLT (36.83) IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE LEVEL
             OF THE SMP/E CALLING PROGRAM GIMZIP (36.101).
GIM23413S ** GIMZIP PROCESSING HAS FAILED. DATA INTEGRITY VERIFICATION CAN NOT BE PERFORMED BECAUSE ICSF IS NOT
             AVAILABLE AND AN ATTEMPT TO USE AN ALTERNATE SERVICE HAS FAILED.
GIM20501I    GIMZIP PROCESSING IS COMPLETE. THE HIGHEST RETURN CODE WAS 12.

We are running z/OS V2R2.

Reading the explanation of message GIM69208S,  added the following DD card to the JOB to point to the V2R4 version of program GIMJVCLT :

//CAUNZIP EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=10,REGION=0M
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYSI.CA90S.R15.CAW0LINK
//ZIPRPT   DD SYSOUT=&OUTCLASS,RECFM=FBA
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=&OUTCLASS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=&OUTCLASS
//STDOUT   DD SYSOUT=&OUTCLASS
//STDERR   DD SYSOUT=&OUTCLASS
//SMPCPATH  DD PATH='/SYSI/usr/lpp/smp/classes/'
//SYSTSIN DD *

This resulted in message :

CAZIP02E: SMPCPATH PATH /usr/lpp/smp/classes/

Please advise.

Environment

Common Services for z/OS r15.0

PTF LU00380 installed for CAUNZIP

z/OS 2.2

Cause

The original problem (GIM69208S) that led to the attempt to hardcode the SMPCPATH DD is environmental issue where the SMPE Java environment (/usr/lpp/smp/classes/) is not insync with the SMPE library SYS1.MIGLIB. Essentially there is a mismatch between the GIMUNZIP module and the GIMJCVLT.

Resolution

Correct the environment to resolve the mismatch between the GIMUNZIP module and the GIMJCVLT.

Alternatively, new CAUNZIP APAR LT04572 was written to allow SMPCPATH to be pre-allocated in the JCL.
